If i can get a TRUE for 55$ or a cnps9700 for 28$

[tkgclimb]

Should I get one, or should I stick with my original decision to get a megahalem for 70$. IT will be used to cool a 945 oc'ed as high as i can get it. (95W)

In a cooler master 1000 case

Here's a link to a web site with a lot of useful information about cpu heatsinks which might help you to make a decision:

For my personal pc I still use my original Thermalright Ultra 120 with two Scythe S-Flex 1600 rpm fans.

Or you can get a Core Contact Freezer for $25 after MIR @ Newegg.

I've been to frosty tech, so I know what's food as a cooler. I was wondering about the values of those prices (more so on the 9700, is it a good enough cooler, for that cheap price, i know its kinda old)

^I'd still go with the Core Contact. I'm assuming you'r getting this off Newegg?

No actually it was Off Xoxide's going out of business sale and since I was going to get a fan controller (the one I wanted Newegg didn't have, sunbeam windmill), so I decided that I'd look at the CPU coolers. They had a core contact but Sold Out so all they have now is the 92mm version.

I like the core contact for everything except its looks (not ugly just not nice looking either) but that's not important.

And why It wasn't on my cooler comparison (true vs megahalem) was because it wasn't the "best air cooler"

but Now that the 9700 is sold out, i think i will get it, since it is a good cooler and lost of people like it.

Xoxide had the CCF for $12 a few days ago. It's out of stock now T_T.

Heatsink Factory has a Baram for $50, might want to consider that.

xoxide has some great prices up, like the $28 9700led... which is sold out. I actually found 3-4 different coolers at great prices that were all sold out : (

If you can get a zalman 9700 for less than $30, i'd jump on it. Frys had them last year 4th of july for $20, so I got 2 and foolishly sold one of them. I tried to buy a 2 year old 9700 from this guy off craigslist and he thought I was smoking crack for offering him $20 for it LOL.
